The Owyhee Irrigation District will receive about $1.3 million from the U.S. Department of Agriculture as part of the new federal infrastructure package, district general manager Clancy Flynn said.

USDA last month announced it will invest $420 million in 132 infrastructure projects in 31 states. The work includes rehabilitating dams, preventing flooding and restoring watersheds. The agency said the funding aims to build on a $166 million investment announced earlier this year.
